Begging for My Mother: Find A Grave and the Strangers Who Collect Our Dead

This morning I signed into Find A Grave to update my mother's memorial and discovered that I no longer manage her page. No email warned me. Nothing in my account records the change. Six family memorials, five of them sponsored with my own money in the weeks after my mother died, and my name has been stripped from every one. The site that once made me beg for custody of my own dead has taken that custody back, in silence, and left me to discover the loss the way you discover a missing wallet: by reaching for something that should be there. […]

_Ethical responsibility_ 🧶

Incest is settled by a perverse disconnect between words and deeds.
According to Cécile Cée, ‘the situation does not depend on what the victim has to say about it, but on what society should say about it’ (p. 181). The act of naming is not:
* the result of interpersonal negotiation (to what extent may I call incest what the victim does not designate as such?),
* but rather a collective statement (‘It is up to society, to third parties, to you, to enunciate,’ p. 182), which alone can ‘put the world back the right way up’ (p. 227),
* then we move away from individual conscience and into the realm of social and political ethical responsibility.

CW: Incest silentiation 🧶

‘Each person is […] bound by different moral commitments towards the aggressor – depending on the position held and the relationship with one or the other’.

‘In the extended family, friendship and professional circles within which incest is reported, some, now adults, have obviously themselves been victims of abuse, others have been or still are abusers. In the vast majority of cases, these incestuous acts, whether suffered or imposed, have not been reported to the courts or made public. These incestuous acts are also known to others, who talk about them, have talked about them or will talk about them in the future. Circles of acquaintance and gossip intersect.’

#30DayChartChallenge Día 14: Kinship! 🌿 Hoy toca visualizar "parentescos" animales, pero basados en ¡similitud de rasgos! #RelationshipsWeek #Animals

Este dendrograma horizontal es el resultado de un clustering jerárquico (hclust Ward.D2) sobre ~170 especies, usando su Masa Corporal y Longevidad Máxima (log-transformadas y escaladas). ¡Muestra quién se agrupa con quién según su estrategia de vida!

Las ramas unen las especies más similares. La longitud horizontal hasta la unión indica cuán diferentes son. Se ven grandes grupos que separan, por ejemplo, animales muy grandes/longevos de otros más pequeños/rápidos. Es una forma de ver la estructura oculta en los datos de rasgos.

(Solo se muestra 1/3 de las etiquetas para no saturar!)
